Letters to Mutts

It's great to hear from people who have given a home and a family to one of our dogs. Here are some of the letters we've received.

Ross

Posted on: 19th May 2019

Dear All,
We rescued Ross nearly 8 weeks ago and he is enjoying a 5 star life. We go down the Witham river walk and park playing ball and on long country walks, he is really a wonderful dog. After a busy day, he likes to crash out on the settee.
On Tuesday he goes on his first holiday, 3 days in Manton near Rutland Water, via Wimpole Hall on route. We are staying in a cottage. In the middle of June, he and I are going to the Norfolk coast for 4 days, with both walks in the country and on the beach.
He has been out for Sunday lunch three times to dog friendly pubs and is very well behaved and we take him wherever we can.
He is so friendly to dogs and other people and has made a lot of friends.
We are really lucky to have found Ross.
Best regards Ian & Jenny,
Ross XX

Buffy

Posted on: 26th March 2019

Dear Team,
I thought I’d write, as I understand Buffy was with you for sometime before we were blessed to welcome her in to our home. We absolutely adore her and think she’s the most beautiful thing on four legs. She cruises the house trying out various beds and sofas. She eats fresh salmon and mackerel and is slowly growing in confidence with human interaction. I hope we’ll come and get a companion for her soon.
Great job you all do there, changing dogs lives and enriching the homes they go to.
Thank you so very much,
Best wishes,
Nadine

Rio

Posted on: 14th February 2019

Dear Mutts,
Rio the pup from Romania, is flourishing in her new home. She is in good condition and has been spayed, as well as her rear dew claws being removed at the same time. Daughter Elsie (4yrs), can give her a gentle hug round the neck and makes sure she releases her grip carefully. Rio is slowly gaining confidence with strangers and people wearing glasses. All is going well.
Thank you.

Blake

Blake has really made himself at home, he loves his long walks over the woods and has great fun chasing the squirrels in the garden and loves playing with any type of ball.
He likes nothing more than laying upside down, having his tummy tickled by Mummy , who has spoilt him rotten !
Thank you to all at Mutts.

Velvet now Rosie

Posted on: 2nd November 2018

Dear Mutts,
A big thank you to you all for introducing us to Velvet aka Rosie.
What a perfect dog she is, we can’t imagine life without her.
She settled straight away, is good on the lead,loves a lie-in and our grandchildren love her to bits.

With thanks again from the three of us,
Anne, Terry and Rosie. xx

Woody

Posted on: 2nd November 2018

Dear Pat,
I just wanted to send you a photo of Woody so that the girls at the kennels and Giselle can see how well he is doing and its lovely to see his confidence growing everyday.
Woody is part of our family already and has lots of character that we love about him.
Woody looks after my parents and I can’t wait to start training this lovely dog.
Woody will never forget Mutts In Distress, we will drop food off for the dogs occasionally and my Mum is good at knitting, so has offered to make dog jackets if needed. I’m afraid Mutts in Distress will not get Woody back but we will look out for any fund raisers you hold and we will support those.
We as a family have learnt a lot from Woody, he is special to us.

Many Thanks

Lisa, Paul, Gerry and Sandra x

Axl

Posted on: 23rd August 2018

Dear Mutts,
We have had Axl nearly 3 months now and we couldn’t imagine life without him. He has completely changed into such a special dog, he is loving to all humans and most dogs!
He has improved his obedience greatly through attending doggy school and now gets excited to get in the car and see family and not so afraid of cars going past in the street.
Most excitingly, we have been letting him off the lead in the last week and he has been running back to us in open areas away from traffic. He also responds well to ‘leave it’ and ‘wait’.
He has most importantly been incredible around young children.We are super proud of him.

Thanks again to Mutts In Distress.

Gordie

Posted on: 17th July 2018

Dear Mutts,
I just thought I would let you know how Gordie is getting on. He has settled down fast and tried to rule the roost from day one. He is in training and is coming along amazingly and has calmed down a lot and seems very happy here.
I know we love him, he is full of love and is a right character. As I am typing this, he is laying on my foot.
He has found his forever home and we have found our beloved Gordie.
Love,
Lesley

Well done Mutts

Posted on: 5th March 2018

Dear Mutts,
I’d never heard of you until I met a couple of ladies in Woodford Green walking Shadow, a Labrador. They had rehomed him through you (I was walking my own Labrador). They were delightful ladies, and Shadow a lovely lad. He had clearly fallen on all four feet, having been given a home by them.
In short, they all deserved each other. Given that you are obviously doing an excellent job, my wife and I will be making a donation to you. Not much I’m afraid as we are both pensioners but hopefully you will find it useful. All the best.

Tiger at home.

Posted on: 18th February 2018

Morning Pat,
Tiger is doing absolutely brilliantly. The minute he walked through the door, he made himself at home and has been great with the cats and toilet training. Taking him for a walk is amazing as he never pulls and once we’re away from cars, (which he doesn’t like) he doesn’t have a lead and he stays next to me until I say ‘play’ then he goes silly and runs lengths but never strays far.
Could you please thank the lady who saved him and all of your staff, as we’re so happy with him. He is a little lazy but I’ve got that out of him. In his first week, we walked 42 miles and the following was 39 miles.
We will also be attending the May Bank Holiday doggy day that you’re doing, so you will all be able to see him again.
Many thanks,
Alan Saunders
